WIAW #29 First One in '14 Edition

Hello Everyone!  It's Wednesday and I decided to jump into What I Ate Wednesday again.  I really miss doing these posts, so I'm hoping to keep doing these every week.  So without further ado....


"

Breakfast:
I ate most the oatmeal before I snapped this photo, but I had Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal by Better Oats (I love Better Oats!) and half an cinnamon raisin english muffin with butter on it.  Not picture is a glass of juice which I drank with my vitamins.

Lunch:
A ham, cheese and mustard sandwich on a sandwich thin, a dill pickle spear, a small apple and a mug of green tea with honey.

Snack:
Triscuits!  I LOVE the new flavors they came out with.  Plus Triscuits don't have a ton of ingredients and I can pronounce most, if not all of them, so this makes it a snack I'm happy to eat! Not pictured was a snack I had later in the day of a Fiber One chocolate peanut butter granola bar and a Skinny Cow cookies and cream ice cream sandwich.

Dinner:
More Triscuits, another small apple and chili mac with a light sprinkling of cornbread crumbs.  The chili I used is a Slow Cooker Vegan Beer Chili from Cassie at Back to her Roots.  I love the savory taste of the chili, mixed with the sweetness of the cornbread!

Well that's it for me.  I'm exhausted, so I'm off to bed.  Make sure to visit Jenn's page to link up with some great recipes and people!!

WIAW #28 - It's been too long

Hello fellow What I Ate Wednesday party-ers! And hello to those who are not WIAW party-ers!  According to my records, the last time I partied was back in October!  It's been way too long!  I'm really trying to focus on my food this month and I'm tracking calories.  That being said I am happy to say that I am actually proud of my eats today (even though they don't live up to the green theme)! Check it out and see what you think:

Breakfast:

I have had a seriously craving for bagels lately. This may or may not be Jenn's fault ;) Anyway Mike and I went shopping while I was starving, which is always a bad idea.  I bought two packages of Bagel Thins. Everything and Cinnamon Raisin.  I have been having them like every morning with cream cheese and today was no exception.  It's like the best breakfast ever!

I continued my breakfast after my workout, with one link of Erkrich Farms Cheddar sausage and a raspberry Nutrigrain bar.

Lunch:

I finally made myself a smoothie! I've been wanting to incorporate smoothies into my diet as another way to get fruits and veggies in me.  Usually I would say especially veggies, as they are the hardest for me to meet the daily requirement.  However lately my diet has been void of fruits.  This smoothie helped that by having 1/2 a frozen banana, some frozen mixed berries, plus plain no fat Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder and a little vanilla almond milk. Oh and the smoothie has a reusable green lid and straw! How's that for green?!

Snack:

 [no photo]

My own 100 calorie snack pack of salted peanuts!

Dinner:

Birthplace

I forgot to take a photo of my actual food because I was too busy stuffing my face, but here's a stock photo. Morning Star Farm's Griller on a white bun (lame.  I don't know why I bought white instead of wheat), with sweet pickle relish and mustard and a side of canned pears in 100% juice!

So what I did pretty good right?! I am happy with it.  Don't forget to go visit Jenn's party, meet some new friends and get some yummy food ideas!!

WIAW #27 - Series Time!

Tonight was the first game of the World Series and unfortunately the Tigers lost, but that's okay because we don't even need that game to win!! Tomorrow is another game and this time the Giants are going down!

Birthplace

Oh...right, you're here for the food, not the baseball.  Sorry haha. I haven't taken many photos today, but hopefully I'll have enough the get you though :)

WIAW #26 -

Well hello again for another What I Ate Wednesday!  Be sure to check out Jenn's post - #91! That girl is such a party-er ;) - in keeping with our theme, Jenn shared some blogger's snacks!  I also have some snacks to share, but nothing as great as the one's Jenn shared...all the same here they are.

WIAW #25 - I Have No Title Edition

My schedule finally worked out so I could make it to the WIAW party! How exciting! It has been a month since my last What I Ate Wednesday party! What a bummer; but I'm back and ready to rock!

So let’s get onto my eats and the good habits I'm falling into! 

WIAW #24 - Tuesday is easier?

Well today, we are going to do What I Ate Tuesday.  I'm going out of town this weekend and I have been a busy social butterfly every day after work, so between getting ready for the va-ca and socializing there's not much time for other things and it was easier to do Tuesday this week...and believe it or not, even though today was easier - I only have two pictures! Blah....

WIAW #23 - Determination & Happy 1 yr!

Woot Woot! If you'd like to see where I was at one year ago, here are my first and second posts on this blog! Enjoy :)

Now it is also Wednesday and it is my determination week, as in I'm determined to get my health back on track! So today is my determination week WIAW.  I think I made some pretty good decisions.  Let's see what they are!

WIAW #19 Celebration Edition!

Wednesday. Of course you know that means I was taking pictures if everything I shoved in my face.  This week is the celebration edition because one of my meals was a celebration and WIAW turns 70!! WIAW, you don't look a day over 30 ;)  Grab some cake and let's get to the eats!

WIAW #18 -The H*ll Week Edition

This week has been crazy for me.  I think my Facebook on Monday summed it up best:

"This week: 8 chapters of reading for class, a paper due on Thursday, possibly a quiz, friend from out of town visiting, baby shower for said friend on Thursday, poster presentation at U of M on Friday, spending the weekend in Ohio. And prep for all these things this week. breath, Katie, breath. I think I'm going to need some coffee...."

Le sigh.  Is it Friday @ 5pm yet? No?! It's time for:

WIAW #17 Exam Week Edition

Well it's exam week and I have been working until 4am some nights working at 11am some days.  Basically my schedule is worse than usual.  Today started out like this:

WIAW #14 - Awesome New Resturant Edition!

Today I'm going to share one meal of my eats. Why? Because it fits in really great with Jen's theme of eating more veggies. Because I went to a great restaurant today that you'll all want to try.  And because I'm running short on time and really need to sleep, asap. With that let's get started!

WIAW #12 Wednesday fast food day (ish)

I say "ish", because I didn't actually eat any food from a fast food restaurant, but everything I ate was quickly made by me or other people.  I did not know about going green for my eats, but I happened to have one meal with green in it!  So let's get started:

WIAW #11 some veggies edition

ugh...once again I didn't get a ton of vegetables in....I did however check out a couple of vegetarian cookbooks from the library this week so perhaps I will be able to increase my veggie intake soon.

Without further delay let's get to the:
